I have lived well over half my life (40+ years) in the Chihuahuan Desert but have traveled through, hiked and camped in every major desert of the United States and Mexico. I have also traveled the entire length of the Atacama Desert in Chile by land. Las Vegas is located on the northern edge of the Mojave Desert.
Las Vegas, Nevada. Love it or loathe it, Las Vegas is the leviathan of desert destinations. It's a city of mega hotels: Mandalay Bay, New York-New York, The Mirage, Luxor, Bellagio, and Paris -- all waiting to fulfill your fantasies. Shows, world-class shopping, and some of the best restaurants anywhere are here too.
